A method for filtering higher-order acoustic modes using a resistive layer is proposed and applied to a two-dimensional rectangular waveguide with a quiescent fluid. An analogue of Cremer's criterion is discussed and used to obtain the optimal modal attenuation of the non-planar waves while the plane wave is preserved. Numerical validation of the concept is performed for a straight waveguide and an abrupt expansion in a waveguide.
